The key requirement of losing weight is to trim excess sugar from our diet. While some people have mastered the way to abstain from consuming chocolates, candies, or desserts in any form, many others struggle to cope with their cravings.

Apart from gaining weight, two other crucial health concerns that are linked to excess sugar intake are heart disease and diabetes.

The real battle during weight loss, hence, is to fight the sweet tooth. However, categorizing sugar as your mortal enemy is also unnecessary. Removing sugar permanently from your diet isn’t a healthy thing to do because glucose acts as the body’s primary source of fuel.

Remember it is absolutely fine to have a sweet tooth, especially when weight-watchers can satiate their cravings by going a little creative with recipes. Instagrammer Nadia shared one such two-ingredient chocolate recipe which people trying to shed those extra kilos can try and remain guilt-free.

Nadia, the woman behind the @nadiashealthykitchen account on Instagram, is known for treating her followers with gluten-free and vegan recipes regularly. Her popularity as a food blogger soared on the social media platform because of her trademark low-calorie preparations.

In the short Instagram reel, the blogger is seen preparing a delicious recipe just by using chickpeas and chocolate. It appears as if it took minimal effort and time to dish out the healthy and tempting recipe.

The main constituent of the recipe was chickpeas, which is known to have several health benefits, as well as considered to be a rich source of protein and other vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

In the recipe, Nadia roasted the canned chickpeas until crunchy and coated them with molten dark chocolate followed by refrigeration.

The recipe, as we can say, will be beneficial in more than one way. Dark chocolate which is used as the sweetening agent in the recipe is considered to have anti-aging properties. Further, the use of chickpeas in the recipe made it high-protein and fiber-rich.

The recipe has since gone viral on Instagram, racking up over 6,000 likes.
